Q . Q HI TORY 1. , Now the history of the Class of Fifty-four. of the Masonic High School of Kentucky. is in this wise: ln the beginning, in the nineteen hundred and fiftieth year of our Lord and on the fourth day of the ninth month, there entered into this Land of Learning. twenty-one seekers of knowledge. Some came up through our own grade school. for Bennie and Audrey Jean had started in Miss Juliet Holton's kindergar- ten back in the year nineteen hundred forty. Betty Jean Blanton. Glenn Earl Blanton. and Phyllis Ann Jarvis came from other institu- tions of instruction. and all were fresh and green. One oi the outstanding events of the year was a Christmas party. Miss Freda Whitfield. our sponsor. helped make it an event which we will never forget. After many months of hard work and much suffering, our eyes were turned to gradu- ation and advancement. but several were lost by the wayside. Glenn Earl was a member of our class only a short time. He returned to live with his grandfather. Cupid came along during the year and touched the heart of Ruby Sowder. Besides the loss of these two. Ver- onica Greene did not return after our summer vacation. So. thus did our class decrease until the number of real stickers was only eighteen. Sad. but true! II. During our sophomore year. the people ot Brownsville invited the boys basketball team to visit them and tour the Mammoth Cave, The boys were thrilled with this trip during the basketball season. Later in the year. the entire group of girls in Cottage l went to the cave. We will always recall this as a pleasant memory of our sophomore days. Miss Louis MeHatton was not only our sponsor. but also our English teacher. She tried to inspire us with the stories of King Arthur and his Knights. In the fall of the year. we lost George Shelton and Franklin Samuels. Burnice Neeley stayed with his mother after Christmas. Georgia Branscum did not return to enter our school the next fall, Thus. as the class did journey through the land. four did drop by the wayside and were lost, leaving the unlucky number of thirteen. III. Having successfully completed two years of work. the Class of Fifty-four did enter upon their third year with a spirit of joy and enthusiasm. The junior class furnished much valuable material for the athletic department. For the first time in the history of our school, the basketball team just missed the State Tournament by one game. All members of our class enjoyed the annual hockey and basketball banquet in April. Our class did their part in supporting the dramatic art programs during the year. Shirley Southard was Martha Washington in the Grand Lodge Program. All of us joined the mixed chorus. too. At Christmas time we joined the seniors for our party. Oh. what a wonderful time we had! Mrs. Lillias Ashbury, our class sponsor, had the party at her home. We ate dinner. played games. watched television. and en joyed the association together. After the Christmas holidays, Rose Sowder did not return. Bobby McGuire completed his first term here, then entered Ashland High School. Now our class number had diminished to the count of eleven. IV. Now the fourth year of the history of this class has been one of much hard labor. with little resting by the waysideg preparing us to take our final departure from the land. One other student fell by the wayside. Noble Hawkins joined the Air Force. And it came to pass that Miss Laura Johnson. who had so diligently pulled and tugged at the rope on which the Class of Fifty-four had securely been swinging for three years. was now our sponsor and was still urging us onward. Because of the guidance of our faculty. the school as a whole during the year of fifty-four has been a decided success. First came Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter programsg then, the Christmas program: and after that. the basketball season. In all these events. the ten remaining members of the Class of Fifty-four did carry their part of the burden and assist in any way that they could. So it has come to pass that of the twenty-one that entered the great search for knowledge. only ten will go out the gate that leadeth to graduation on May 28 and hold as their motto: Our Aim, Success: Our Hope, To Win: So-Push. Pull. or Get out of the Way ,-Jean Stepp.
